Abstract
The prediction of rupture lifetime of a component can be based on the data generated from round, flat and tubular specimens. An investigation on the influence of specimen geometry on the creep behavior of Inconel alloy X-750 showed that the tubular specimen exhibited better creep performance when rupture lifetime data were compared on the basis of section size. However, the time to rupture data of all three specimen geometries merged together when compared on the basis of the volume to surface area ratio (V/S) indicating that there is a definite relationship between V/S and the rupture lifetime. This analysis is now extended in another gamma prime strengthened nickel base superalloy. The chemical composition of the alloy in wt%, is as follows: 0.07C-0.66Si-0.07Cu-0.79Fe-19.1Cr-2.35Ti-1.52Al and remainder nickel. Analysis of the rupture lifetime data of a gamma prime strengthened nickel base superalloy shows that time-to-rupture is controlled by the volume to surface area ratio. Furthermore, the normalization of the volume to surface area ratio with the grain size shows that the time-to-rupture data of two grain sizes, 55 and 250 [mu]m, can be represented by a single curve.
